About:
zlib-ng is a modern, performance-optimized fork of the classic zlib compression library. It features improved performance on modern hardware, better compression ratios, and strict security standards. The 'compat' version provides a drop-in replacement that maintains the standard zlib API for seamless integration.
Key Features:
  • High-performance AVX2 and NEON optimized compression
  • Drop-in API compatibility with original zlib
  • Improved compression ratios and faster throughput
  • Built with modern security hardening standards
Use Cases:
  • Accelerating compression in high-performance applications
  • Replacing system zlib for improved system-wide performance
  • Web server content compression and optimization
Alternatives:
  • zlib – Original library; slower but ubiquitous and battle-tested
  • brotli – Higher compression ratios but incompatible API
